4.
Would you be willing to buy your son his own range of toiletries on a regular basis?

Yes - he'd love it - I'd be willing to buy it online or seek it out at independent shops

Yes - but only if I could get it as part of my regular grocery shop or at a big store like Boots

No - he's happy enough using what we already have

No - unless they were cheaper than what you can already buy

I'd only buy it as a gift or very occasionally

*
5.
How important is it for your son's toiletries to be free of 'nasties' like parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals, artificial colours/fragrances often found in mainstream products?

Very important - I only let him use natural products that don't contain these things

Somewhat important - I'd prefer him to use more natural products to be kinder to his skin

Not really important - at this age I think it's ok for them to use the kind of ingredients that are found in most adult bath products.
